🧠Market Overview
🏦 TradFi & Macro:
◽️ The S&P 500 is down -3.6% YTD, despite a modest weekly gain that broke a 4-week losing streak. The USD strengthened slightly, providing support to USD-denominated assets. Yields declined across the board, partially influenced by the Fed’s message that tariffs are unlikely to have a lasting inflationary impact.
◽️ From last week’s FOMC meeting, the current dot plot still signals at least 2rate cuts in 2025, with market-implied probabilities rising from ~60% to nearly 90%. Systematic strategies have reduced technical selling pressure (and may need to catch up if indices rise another 100bps).
◽️According to Goldman Sachs, market exposure remains below the 1-year average but near historical midpoints. Forward flows are expected to be neutral to slightly positive, assuming stable prices and volatility.
◽️ Notably, yesterday’s minor bounce—particularly in growth stocks—was driven primarily by retail investors, while institutional money remained on the sidelines. Many institutional traders remain cautious due to elevated uncertainty surrounding Trump’s political agenda. This caution is reflected in the gold chart, which signals growing demand for safe havens...
It’s becoming increasingly likely that tariffs will, in hindsight, appear as a minor disruption on the charts. However, markets are also pricing in other risks tied to Trump’s unpredictable and aggressive policies, such as:
> A potential drift of the U.S. toward autocracy or a surveillance state
> Attempts by a future Trump administration to annex sovereign regions like Greenland or Canada
> A withdrawal from transatlantic alliances
> Or a major financial crisis, should foreign investors (who currently hold ~33% of U.S. Treasuries, predominantly from Europe and Japan) lose confidence in the US as a reliable partner and reduce purchases of government bonds.
The latter scenario is often overlooked by "America First" advocates but decoupling from global partners cannot happen overnight—it takes time. If that time isn’t granted, liquidity tends to seek more stable and predictable environments, which is already evident in equity (euronews.com/business/2025/0…) & could extend to bonds. Such a shift in Treasuries would have far more severe consequences...
The fear & uncertainty are not limited to foreign investors who have so far relied on and invested in the US — domestic job market uncertainty within the U.S. is also at a high not seen since the 2008 financial crisis:
➡️ In essence, the key question is whether we’re heading toward a full-scale financial crisis / black swan event / recession, or simply witnessing a transformational market event that reallocates capital flows (e.g., more into EM & EU markets), but leaves global performance intact and maintains confidence in U.S. Treasuries.
Since we’ve already seen a -10% decline in the S&P 500, the move can officially be classified as a correction. Looking at historical context:
📈 If one believes the correction is over and no recession follows, historical averages suggest a +12% return over the next 12 months.
📉 If a recession is expected, the average forward 12-month return is -2%.
💰Bitcoin & Crypto:
$BTC has reached a major resistance level, which explains the renewed bullish sentiment and talk of "altcoin shopping" on social media. This time, however, there appears to be a realistic chance of breaking through resistance and shifting from bearish to neutral territory, helped by improving TradFi sentiment and the largest $BTC ETF inflows in 5 weeks.
Altcoins, on the other hand, still look largely bearish. It remains difficult to justify aggressive long positions, though for the first time in months, a few setups are beginning to form. For those betting on a bottom, many altcoins can now be longed with tight invalidation levels just below the range lows set 2–3 weeks ago. Overall, signs are increasing that we’re currently trading in the bottom range of this correction:
In the past 3 months, I’ve only made a few major purchases (xitter.gq/JukovCrypto/status/189…) which I tweeted in realtime/live about:
> $ETH @ $2,000
> $SOL @ $120
> $BTC @ 80K
Recently, I’ve started to reaccumulate some microcaps, but in small sizes and with a long-term horizon. While many altcoins are still in a bearish trend, bottom formation seems to be progressing—also visible in lower-volume segments of the market.
If you already have significant exposure, the prudent approach is to wait patiently for a confirmed bullish trend. However, if your exposure is low or nonexistent, now may be a reasonable time to start scaling in carefully.
➡️ Forming a bottom doesn’t imply an immediate bounce to ATHs, but it signals that the RR is turning favorable for long positions again - after 3 months of being short.
💭Some thoughts about $ALTS:
I felt like all the Altcoin buying over the past months was pure cope for most part as the vast majority of them look structurally bearish to me...
Sure, you can do quick flips and intraday scalps but the RR was/is terrible imho: If $BTC looks like it's losing its range/going lower, they will shit the bed hard and if $BTC pumps, they are not necessarily pumping along with it... Overall a leverage position on downside but not on upside.
I felt that the continuous altcoin buying here on CT was largely a coping mechanism, as the vast majority of them appear structurally bearish to me, but people tried hard to cling on their bullish bias for their underwater bags.
While you can always execute short-term trades and intraday scalping, the RR is/was, in my opinion, quite poor:
> If $BTC appears to be losing its range/trending lower, alts have shit the bed, and,
> if $BTC pumps, they do not necessarily follow suit. Overall, it felt like buying alts basically represents a leveraged position on the downside, but not on the upside.
> Another major reason for me to stay out of alts was that there were simply no clear trading setups for me. Sure, alts looked structurally bearish to me, and you could call that a downtrend. However, at the same time, $BTC was just range-bound.
While altcoins are still in a bearish trend and $BTC is still range-bound (currently at the range bottom), I’m seeing interesting altcoin setups forming here for the first time in about three months:
➡️SOLANA -> The $120–134 bottom level I had in mind for $SOL seemed "greedy" and unrealistic in the eyes of the $220, $200, and $160 "bottom" buyers not too long ago, but now we’re almost there:
Ideally, we’d see a bit more of a sell-off, with most of our bids filled between $120–125 and an invalidation/stop-loss set below the last major daily wick (or under $108).
➡️ETHEREUM- $ETH appears to have already reached its weekly bottom (around $2500), making it legitimate to buy spot here. For a leveraged or short term RR-focused setup with a tight stop-loss, I’d ideally want to see $2300, so that a major close below the previous daily wicks (below $2100) can serve as an invalidation:

Was a busy weekend, 10 years from tying the knot and 15th birthday of the eldest offspring. Lots of yummy food involved, still full from it all.
Now to catch up with the markets and re-evaluate the game plan.

💹Market update:
Ultimately, we got the edge-to-edge move on the daily TF for BTC. Because of the initial strength, I was hesitant to pull through and short, but then we completed the move rapidly and smashed through any remaining supports around 90-92.5k.
I am happy that we didn't stop in the middle of the cloud; now, we have a clearer picture.
Where are we at now?
Edge-to-edge to 84k has been completed. We reached RSI levels we last saw in the bear market of 2023.
Sentiment has completely reset on X, TG channels, and most sentiment indicators, which now show deep fear—billions of liquidations in the last week. Many alts were completely destroyed and down +90% from ATH.
Many thought we needed this reset after the meme and AI agent mania. So now we got it.
Still I hear many folks wondering what now? Is it over?
No. BTC retraced around 25% from ATH. This is business as usual for bull markets. What is different this time is that ALTS proportionally decoupled from BTC, and many retraced much deeper.
You can Blame this on altcoin dilution, the meme craze including various PNDs from celebs and the US president's family, or just the overall still low liquidity environment and QT.
All of this probably played a major role, but in my opinion, this could still be part of the usual cycle dynamics. BTC.D didn't top out yet, most likely, and historically, only after this happens, ALTS do really well.
What to watch out for now?
I am confident that BTC is finding a bottom around here. Next support would be around 77k and that would also fill the CME gap which is not out of the picture. Otherwise 73k is the previous range high.
If we close below 81-84k though, all remaining bullish structure would be gone though and it would make me significantly more bearish.
In previous runs, we had many retests of the cloud bottom and this is nothing new. Close below would change things.
Expecting some more consolidation in the cloud and hopefully in the next week a solid bounce with some strength.
On the macro side, we see some stealth QEing with the treasury planning to inject 700b into the markets (most likely if the TGA keeps decreasing).
So things could allign here aswell.
For BTC.D i would like to see a tap into the 67-70% Area and a toppish structure for alts to get some proper relief.
Even in the current horrible sentiment, you could see a bunch of ALTS show strength. Theses were the ones I was accumulating in this dip. Scaled orders are your friend. Don't got dip hunting if you are mostly allocated. Only if you have large percentages % it is time to allocate more generously imo.
As usual, these market updates take time, so please make sure to like and retweet to support my work.

The people who comment on my posts asking why I didn't sell, or saying I round tripped it, always seem to ignore the main point of the thread
It started at 1 sol, and in between the 200 days it has been going, that bag has gone down 85% or more atleast 5 times
If I were the type of person to sell down here, do you think I would have made it to where I am today? I would have sold it when I first turned 1 sol to 10k, and then it went back to 1k. Or when it went from 1k - 30k and then back to 7k. You get the point
I don't see any reason selling down here because I expect $lockin to be worth billions, I just have to wait. Some of you have problems waiting, and that's okay, you can staring at a screen all day trading. I'm sure it's working really well for you, that's why you're in my comments angry about my money right?
In 6 months time you will look at my bag and wonder why you didn't just lock in. Why you didn't just buy the one coin which represents the emotions of the entire globe. The one coin that goes viral through every form of media you consume. You could have bought $lockin, but instead you came to my replies in anger
You don't have to believe me, because you will see it play out in real time
Heartbreak doesn’t even begin to describe this feeling.
RIP Maya, you will forever be my first baby.

Markets don’t like surprises, as they bring uncertainty. That’s why events with a long-term bullish outlook can sometimes have a short-term negative impact on assets, and vice versa.
Markets regulate themselves in a way that the valuation of attention is finite—money remains within the system and constantly seeks new opportunities. However, these opportunities are not solely based on attention but also require fundamental reasons to believe in them.
Even within the crypto microcosm, we've observed this phenomenon time and time again:
In Q1, the market was driven by stocks—most notably $NVDA, widely regarded as the most important company in the world. Naturally, crypto picked up on the AI narrative, leading to the rise of DePIN infrastructure plays, among others. This trend continued until the broader market turned, overall liquidity decreased, and altcoin prices became unsustainable. What followed was the first major shift:
During Q2-Q3 2024, a significant portion of market participants genuinely believed in the "meme supercycle" and the idea that it would replace traditional venture capital-backed coins. Murad became the market's guiding figure, and his followers believed in a fundamental shift in how people would invest in crypto—either through nihilistic pump-and-dump schemes or cult-like communities. They believed that nothing else would generate profits. However, as attention fragmented across different coins and the trade became overcrowded, the scene descended into degeneracy—young traders on pump-fun livestreams engaging in reckless stunts to squeeze the last bit of attention out of the market.
By Q3-Q4 2024, liquidity and attention shifted back to projects with real potential. With a stronger underlying market, investors set their sights on long-term targets, focusing on the most obvious narrative of the decade: AI. AI agents, AI infrastructure, and AI-related experiments gained traction. Suddenly, the so-called "meme chain," SOL, saw 90% of its trading volume driven by AI-related coins. Centralized exchanges (CEXs) aggressively listed AI agents with the highest mindshare, and people started to care about technology again, realizing that crypto is the most dynamic vehicle to bet on the AI revolution—provided they placed their chips on the right projects.
Now, in Q1 2025, the macroeconomic environment has weakened once again, and liquidity is lacking for altcoins to sustain their prices. Bearish sentiment has taken hold across the market, and investors have begun to lose faith in the long-term prospects of their holdings—or at least become uncertain. Then, $TRUMP happened, and all the remaining liquidity was funneled into it. Only a handful of coins thrived, those directly tied to the Trump narrative or fundamentally strong enough to ignore short-term trends—such as $BTC, $ETH, and $XMR. Following that, the market saw the launch of $MELANIA, with expectations of more attention-grabbing coins to follow.
However, the core principle remains the same: As long as the broader market holds a long-term bullish outlook, liquidity will inevitably flow back into fundamentally stronger narratives and products—above all, the most obvious one: AI.
Patience.
Using raw data vs. depending on API data is *chefs kiss*
Gatsby: The DeFAI first-party data solution
Many #DeFAI players focus on showcasing their sleek front-end interfaces, but here's what they don't tell you: they rely on third-party APIs and thus work with fragmented, incomplete, and context-lacking data. This approach not only limits depth but also constrains their ability to offer meaningful, real-time insights.
Instead of external APIs, $GATSBY directly extracts raw blockchain data, processes it and organizes it into a structured, proprietary database. Every transaction is parsed with precision, building a foundation that can power the most advanced AI-driven analytics.
This stands in stark contrast to other platforms, which offer basic on-chain actions like swapping and bridging but lack the real-time, actionable data streams needed for nuanced decision-making.
It’s not just another DeFAI platform—it’s the foundational building block for every #DeFAI platform.
Here are some queries that are possible with Gatsby:

Excellent deep dive read on $PACA
Imagine having a platform where users have an overview of the vast landscape of AI agents and Developers can fund new Models through IMOs.
With access to funding, a marketplace, and an existing community, AI agents can progress far faster than they could on their own.
Let's dive into the newest addition to my small-cap AI agent portfolio and learn everything you need to know about @AlpacaNetworkAI 📃👇
First, bookmark the first tweet so you never miss my alpha. 📚
What is Alpaca?
TL;DR: Alpaca Network is designed to become the go-to hub for your agent needs. Additionally, they aim to allow builders to tap into an existing community and offer funding via Initial Model Offerings (IMOs) and computing.
I quite like this vision, as the number of agents that are already live is massive. We simply can't keep up with everything being created. If we don't have a simple interface to find the agents that fit our needs, many will remain within a niche community because they lack the reach to address a new market. Alpaca aims to fix this.
Alpaca is much more than just a marketplace; they aim to house everything agent-related and cater to the needs of both users and developers. I'm going to power through how the platform operates so you understand all functionalities.
Alpaca aims to offer the best user experience. To achieve this, there are free agents, freemium, and paid agents. You can find the best agents for you using their chatbot, this saves you from roaming through thousands of agents to find your best fit.
Alpaca operates using Paca pay, using $PACA you pay for freemium/premium agents, and a referral fee is paid which goes back to the $PACA holders.
Now that you understand how the marketplace operates, let's look at Alpaca's second offering, Paca Launch. On this platform, builders can source funding in return for a share of their revenue which is distributed to investors automatically. To access the launchpad investors need to stake $PACA.
Last but not least is Alpaca Labs, a virtual lab where engineers, developers, and researchers work together to create AI solutions. Alpaca is backed by a stacked team that will work together with the community to build human and AI agents while focusing on creating an AI coordination layer designed to allow agents to better communicate with each other and expand their capabilities.
Alpaca is backed by a strong team that has worked at GDA Capital, Trust Swap, Singularity, and more. To add some more credibility, they won the decentralized AGI hackathon and secured over $500K in compute power grants.
Their ecosystem is built around $PACA giving you access to revenue and launchpad opportunities.
$PACA with a $5M market cap makes it a great RR bet on AI agents as a whole. They already launched the MVP and plenty of catalysts lined up and over 60 IMOs are set to launch in Q1.
These long-form posts take a long time to write. 📝

Plata's Bullmarket 24/25 Take Profit Strategy Guide
Many people have asked me how to position themselves in the bull market., and that is why most traders give all their profits away again once we top
It all starts with a take-profit strategy.
Even the most experienced OGs often don't follow one and that is the reason why most of the traders give all their profits away again once we topped out.
Here’s the guide I wish I had when I started investing 👇
In this post we'll cover:
💰 The importance of a take-profit strategy
😌 Taking an easy approach
💼 Short-term investments
📈 Mid-term investments
🏦 Long-term investments
🔚 Conclusion
Let's dive straight in 🌊
💰 The importance of a take-profit strategy
Bull markets make everything look easy. Coins are 2X’ing overnight, 100X’s don’t feel rare, and you’re tempted to keep holding because… “what if it goes higher?”
Many people fall for the mindset of "wanting just one more 2X" before giving all their hard work back to the market.
This is how greed takes over, causing most traders to:
🚩 Hold too long and roundtrip profits
🚩 Panic sell during small corrections
🚩 Fear they are missing out (FOMO) leading to bigger losses
Setting clear targets before you enter a trade allows you to keep your head cool even when market downturns occur.
😌 Key Rules to follow
A solid trading plan strategy keeps you focused, eliminates emotional decisions, and ensures you lock in profits.
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach, though. Your strategy depends on the type of coin you’re holding and how convinced you are of its potential.
There are an infinite number of strategies to implement to be profitable; the most important factor is that YOU STICK with your strategy.
The second most important rule is, the longer the bull market drags - the more profit you should take.
If you stick to your rule based on the below concepts, you should not have a problem with this but keep this in mind for your overall strategy.
The approach below is simple, allowing all types of investors to utilize it.
💼 Short-term investments
This approach should be taken for short-term investments and meme/shitcoins. Meme coins pump fast, but they can crash just as quickly. These are high-risk, high-reward plays where the goal is to secure profits early.
🔹 Take out your initial investment at 2X.
🔹 Then, take out ~20% of your position at every 2-4X milestone.
🔹 Leave a 5% moon bag for those insane pumps.
Leaving a moon-bag is optional but I like keeping a small piece of exposure just in case I find the next $PEPE.
This strategy ensures you are likely to recover your initial investment. Capital preservation should be a top priority for those investing in small caps or short-term investments.
📈 Mid-term investments
This approach should be taken for projects you believe in but don’t plan to hold forever—think of promising tokens with solid narratives but higher volatility.
🔹Take out your initial investment at 2-3X.
🔹Then, take out ~15% of your position every 2-3X going forward or:
🔹Adjust your exits based on key catalysts (e.g., mainnet launches, partnerships, or ecosystem expansions).
Catalysts create price momentum. As long as these investments keep promising new opportunities, they can attract more investors. This factor should help you decide when to exit the positions after you've recovered your initial investment.
This strategy balances consistent profit-taking with the ability to ride upward momentum.
🏦 Long-term investments
These are your long-term holds—projects with strong fundamentals, visionary teams, and real-world use cases. You’re in it for the long haul, but you still need a plan to lock in gains.
🔹Take out your initial investment after 4X.
🔹For large caps the profit taking strategy can be completely variable. I would still set a crude guideline like taking profit of x% every 3-5x.
🔹Adjust your exits based on key catalysts and the progressing of the bull market. Stick to the key rule, the hotter the bull market gets, the more profit you take.
Long-term investments should have the most wiggle room as your price targets might be 10-100 times above the current market price. This strategy ensures you will recover your initial investment and take some profit while allowing a majority of your investment to reach your expected target.
Even for the highest conviction plays, don't become a bag holder. If you want to hold it for more than a cycle, only do it with less than 10-20% of your initial position size.
Likely, you will have plenty of opportunities to buy back cheaper.
🔚 Conclusion
The goal isn’t just to make gains—it’s to keep them. A clear TP plan helps you avoid the emotional rollercoaster that derails most traders during bull markets.
There is one simple takeaway from all of this:
Protect your profits.
In finance, there is a simple model that always proves itself. 90% of people lose 90% of their capital in the first 90 days
Especially if you are new to crypto, don't try to make it all in a short time frame - play it slow and safe.
I don't recommend setting any imaginary numbers in your mind of the portfolio size you want to reach in this bull market. This will make you emotional and keen not to follow the TP rules you made for yourself.
I hope you enjoyed this post. 😊
